Dingwall Owners Club

Ok, it’s confession time. I’ve strayed. Temptation kept whispering in my mind. I resisted for years, but I kept hearing it, over and over, “Cirrus”.

And I’m like, “A PEAVEY?!!! Get back devil, that’s just crazy talk!”

“Cirrus, cirrus, Cirrrrrruuuusssss, ...”

What can I say, I’m a sucker for redheads, I mean redwood. Long skinny red...

Any way, these things are seriously undervalued on the used market.

So, a mint 1998, with case, case candy, and a couple nice Peavey hats (sealed the deal) flame redwood, alder body, neckthrough, Cirrus four string found its way to the house. It was like it had been in a time capsule. Perfect.

It’s only been a month, but I’m pretty pleased. I set it up with rounds. It’s super hot active pickups and preamp. A total departure from the Super P’s.

A torrid affair. If I close my eyes it feels like an AB. So sleek and sexy.

Wanna see a picture?

That was what I played before Dingwall. Ibanez Mikro, then Peavey Millennium, then Peavey Cirrus, then Dingwalls.
 
I'm late to the party, but it's all Dingwall all the time for me. I have a beautiful signature Roscoe SKB 3005 that I chased for 2 years, and a Carvin L75f just to have a fretless in the house. Neither have a battery in them. I also have a backup at practice which hasn't been touched since I took my SPJ5 there.

I have parallel bases I won't sell for sentimental reasons (e.g. promised to children/grandchildren) but I never play them.

Is anyone using the forum on the website anymore since the changes??

I gave up on it and haven't been back to see if it's more user friendly yet

At least on my phone I should say.... it seems very unpleasant to navigate.
 
I had to set up a new account with a slightly different user name.

The log in would not let me recover my old identity. The problem was that my email address had changed and any password recovery attempts went to the old email. I was stuck.

The new format is very different. I don’t see myself using it. Traffic is way down, and it’s not very user friendly. IMHO.

This thread and Facebook will keep me up to date. I wonder if a Facebook group wouldn’t be more accessible.

Probably and I know there is a few set up by Steven Gibson but I don't have Facebook. I've been tempted a few times and only recently set up instagram and between that and here it's already a stupidly addictive way to have time pass way to quickly.

At least with the website forum it's very specifically Dingwall and a 5 min time commitment vs the alternative
 
AAAaaaand just checked it out on the laptop.... forum NFG IMO.

"thread last updated 2019 years ago"...... ha
I am confused. I am not seeing any of the issues that you guys are referring to. It is working perfectly fine for me on my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 android phone. It was working fine on the computer (pc) a couple hours ago when I was on the computer. What exactly is the issue, and where does one have to go to see it?

I’m too confused. I was gonna ask but I figured I’d just leave it be, im on my iPhone and everything is working perfect...no complaints in any way.
